A downstream element in the human β-globin promoter: Evidence of extended sequence-specific transcription factor IID contacts
6 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
We describe here the identification and characterization of a functional downstream element in the human adult beta-globin promoter. The existence of this element was indicated by two mutations at +22 and +33 downstream of the beta-globin transcriptional start site in humans with beta-thalassemia. In vitro transcriptional analysis of these mutants, plus a third at +13, indicates that all three decrease...
